GP Induráin to go ahead

The prelude to the Vuelta al País Vasco, the GP Induráin, will go ahead this year after all, www.biciciclismo.com reports.

It was reported last month that the organizers were struggling to come up with the necessary funds to stage the race, but a private sponsor has since stepped in to cover the budget. President of the organizing committee, Ismael Martínez, confirms the budget will remain at approximately 110 000 euros, but that the number of teams to participate will be only eleven.

This year's race will be staged on the 31st of March.
